The Djinns (César Franck)
the Djinn S is a Symphonic poem for Piano and Orchestre of César Franck.
The pianist Caroline Montigny-Rémaury had asked him a short part for piano and for orchestra, but she never played this poem that Franck composed during the summer 1884. It was created the March 15th 1885 by Louis Diémer with the piano at the time of a concert to the National company of Music.
Work is inspired by the poem of the same name of the Orientales of Victor Hugo. This one often inspired Franck (of the melodies, and its first test of symphonic poem: what one hears on the mountain , composed in 1847 - 1848, therefore at the same moment as the work of Franz Liszt on the same inspiration).
Franck takes up the idea of the mysterious and supernatural forces tearing the night sky by their passage, and especially the singular rate/rhythm of the poem of Hugo, assembling the calm one in a sound storm, before falling down in the silence of the night. The part of piano is very virtuoso, and Franck liked as well the interpretation of Louis Diémer on this difficult partition as he wrote for him his symphonic Variations , also for piano and orchestra, marking the revival of the interest of the type-setter for this instrument.
